After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 274 Deliberately Intentional
In the northern court, the officials were arguing incessantly, divided into two factions, their anger blazing.

"The Southern Moon Princess's mission to the Northern Lin is a gesture of goodwill between our two nations, ensuring peace and stability. You are obstructing the envoy's journey to welcome her. What does that say about the Northern Lin?"

The Grand Tutor, who was in his forties or fifties, pointed at the Second Prince's faction and cursed them angrily, wishing he could run over and beat them a few times.

"Why should the Grand Tutor be so angry? Nan Yue is bullying Bei Lin because of its power, and now Bei Lin wants to befriend it? That's wishful thinking."

The Minister of State stroked his beard and retorted sarcastically, his face clearly showing his disdain for Nan Yue.

"The title of 'Crown Princess' sounds nice, but isn't she just relying on men to plan the world for her?"

The Grand Tutor flew into a rage, “You filthy, lowly creature, I’m talking to you about the foundations of the state, and you’re talking to me about women!”

If the Crown Princess of Nanyue had no extraordinary abilities, why would the Emperor of Nanyue allow her to ascend to the position of Crown Princess? By turning away the Nanyue envoys, aren't you implying that Beilin is narrow-minded, lacks a sense of the bigger picture, and has no one of talent to rely on?

“Grand Tutor, your words are too serious,” the Second Prince interrupted him with a cupped hand, bowing to the Emperor who was resting with his eyes closed on the throne. “Father, Nan Yue has never taken Bei Lin seriously. It would be better to let the Crown Princess of Nan Yue wait a few more hours, so that Nan Yue will know that Bei Lin is not someone to be bullied.”

"Fool! You're hopeless! You can't make a living from this rotten wood!" the Grand Tutor cursed angrily. "You're a traitorous minister, utterly useless. The Northern Frontier is doomed."

If the ruler is not a ruler and the ministers are not ministers, where can the northern region find a foothold?

The king's face darkened, and he immediately gave the order.

"The Grand Tutor is advanced in years and is no longer able to handle affairs of state. Guards, take the Grand Tutor back to his residence to rest."

Even if Bei Lin is attacked from both sides, he is still the ruler of the country and will not tolerate others acting recklessly.

"The north is doomed!"

The Grand Tutor was dragged away, shouting hoarsely.

The prince's faction of ministers fell silent instantly.

The second prince exchanged smug glances with the Minister of State Affairs. The king saw their actions and became even more displeased.

"The matter of welcoming the envoys from Nanyue is to be handled by the Crown Prince. Court adjourned."

He was not yet dead, but his wicked son was already eyeing the throne. Yu Changfeng, on the other hand, did not take him seriously at all. The crown prince of the country spent his days loitering in his mansion and did not attend court.

very good.

The second prince froze, bowing with an unpleasant expression.

You old scoundrel, if you conspire with Dongchen, you'll be dethroned.

It is located north of the Imperial City Gate.

The flags of Nanyue fluttered in the air, and a large group of people stopped outside the city gate. A bright woman in a red dress sat on a golden and jade-carved carriage.

The soldiers of Beilin on the city wall stood solemnly at attention, guarding the city gate.

Shi Nuanyu ate the grapes that Zhenbao handed her, leisurely flipping through the letters that Wen Yiqiu had sent by carrier pigeon.

"The governor is doing a good job. No corrupt officials in any prefecture can escape her watchful eye. Send her a message: go ahead and do it boldly. I will take full responsibility for everything."

As the saying goes, "To repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability." Nanyue cannot tolerate corrupt officials and treacherous villains.

A'rao nodded, "Her Highness the Crown Princess is wise and righteous, which is a blessing for Nan Yue."

Shi Nuanyu glanced at her with amusement, "When did you learn to flatter?"

The four of them were secret guards whom I had asked Qinghe for. Except for A'rao, the other three were sent out to go through storms and experience life and death. Once everything was over, they would be allowed to live the lives they wanted.

"Your Highness is deeply loved by the people; my words are not flattery."

A'Rao took the letter from her and tied it to the carrier pigeon, while Zhenbao, standing nearby, grumbled to the soldiers on the city wall.

"The people of Beilin are so rude. They made the princess wait in the scorching sun for so long, and they didn't even have enough ice."

If she hadn't promised the princess she wouldn't cause trouble, she would have definitely gone to her door with a hammer.

Under the scorching sun, the people of Beilin who were waiting at the city gate began to shout, and some took advantage of the chaos to pick up stones and smash the city gate.

"Why won't you let me in? My baby was born today. Please let me in."

"Let us in, why won't you let us into the city?" "My goodness, I can't do business if I can't get into the city gate!"

The people recognized the Nanyue flag and began to whisper among themselves.

When the envoys from the Southern Yue were refused entry to the Northern Lin, it was clear that war was imminent. They were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly and dared not utter a sound.

Shi Nuanyu glanced around. From ancient times to the present, she had never heard of any country daring to turn away an envoy from a powerful nation. Bei Lin had set a precedent.

"No need to rush, we are not the ones who should be in a hurry."

I've heard that the court in Beilin is divided into two factions, the Crown Prince's faction and the Second Prince's faction. The city gates of Beilin have remained closed for a long time, which suggests that the government is maintaining a neutral stance.

If they try to close the gates and kill them, the Southern Moon army will break the ceasefire agreement and advance directly to the Northern Lin.

This morning, before returning to the Southern Frontier, Shan Baiyu told her that A Ling was leading 50,000 elite troops, fully equipped and ready to go, while A Shi was leading martial arts figures to hide in the Northern Imperial City. If there was any unusual activity, he would appear with his men.

Qinghe also returned to Kyoto to preside over the court, but there was no news of where Fusheng and Ayan had gone.

They must still resent her.

"The door opened."

Someone shouted, and the north gate of the city opened. Yu Changfeng led the way, followed by officials from the Court of State Ceremonial and the Ministry of Rites. People stood on both sides of the street, craning their necks to look at the legendary princess of Nanyue.

"The Crown Princess of Nanyue led an envoy to Beilin, and I am deeply sorry that I was unable to welcome her in time."

Shi Nuanyu leaned back on the soft couch, casually playing with the grapes.

"What are you saying, Crown Prince of Beilin? In Nanyue you are my male favorite, so in Beilin I will naturally give you face."

My father said that once we arrive in Beilin, we can do as we please. If that's the case, what's wrong with being an arrogant and domineering crown princess?

Despite being humiliated in front of everyone, Yu Changfeng showed no anger. He stepped forward to get into the carriage, but was stopped by A'rao.

"Our past friendship still exists, yet Your Highness won't even allow us to meet?"

He stood up straight and bowed respectfully.

"I have acted rashly and have displeased Your Highness. I beg Your Highness to be magnanimous and forgive me."

The officials standing behind him looked at each other in bewilderment. Wasn't the Crown Prince's action an admission that Beilin was weaker than Nanyue? Where would Beilin's reputation be then?

The people stared wide-eyed, as if they had just stumbled upon a shocking revelation.

For a crown prince to become a male concubine is simply unheard of and unseen.

Shi Nuanyu's gaze fell on him through the carriage curtain, and she squeezed her fingers, causing grape juice to splash.

The tense atmosphere I had imagined didn't happen. He apologized for what he had done before, and there was still room for maneuver between them.

“Your Highness’s sincerity is evident, and it would seem petty of me to pursue this matter further,” she changed the subject, “Bei Lin left me chilled for an hour under the blazing flames, how should this be accounted for?”

Nuannuan forgives his previous behavior!

Yu Changfeng was secretly delighted, but pretended to shake his head helplessly.

"Your Highness, you are unaware that my younger brother is dissatisfied with Nan Yue's bad idea and is preparing to shut out Nan Yue's envoys. I am truly unable to handle this situation."

She didn't believe his nonsense.

Shi Nuanyu beckoned with her finger, "Whether it's difficult to deal with or intentional, Your Highness, come up and tell me."

When the officials of the Northern Lin court saw their crown prince happily boarding his carriage, they ordered him to go to the crown prince's residence.

"My lord, what should we do?"

The officials preparing to welcome the envoy to the Honglu Guest House were in a difficult position, as they had never heard of an envoy staying at the Crown Prince's residence.

"You blockhead," the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies slapped his head, "The Crown Prince and the Princess of Nanyue have a close relationship."

"This is none of our business. Take the envoys to the Honglu Guest House; you don't need to entertain the Princess of Nanyue and her maids."
